Today is Friday, which means today my uncle and aunt are going out for the entire weekend and I have the house to myself. School was a lot better. Me and Samuel were able to show that we are together in school which was nice. I invited Leonor and Bernadette to sit at his table. So our table at lunch consisted of me, Samuel, my two friends, Luciana and his other two friends. The guy was glaring at me from a table next to us but said nothing. Samuel glared back at him and he stopped doing that. I was nervous to meet the other two friends but they knew of my relationship with Samuel before the breakup, they were nice. Luciana I knew a bit but I think that generally everyone was getting along with each other well which I was happy for that.
The school day was good, I though had an exam but I think I did fairly well on it. Finally my life is getting on the better days. I still have a few more lessons and afterwards I will go and see Samuel's practice and we thought of having out somewhere after he is finished. The last lessons passed in a blur, I don't even remember what I did in them but hey it is time for me to go to the stadium and watch his practice or well do a bit of my homework.
I sat down on a bench. Their practice is about to begin. I took out the homework out of my backpack and began doing it. Soon the team walked in and I spotted Samuel he saw me and waved, I waved back. I don't know how they are able to do sports when it is crispy outside it isn't like super cold but cold nonetheless, summer weather is barely there. Once I was done with the work so was the practice over. Outside the school I waited for him to show up. Samuel walked out looking like he was running.
"You really shouldn't have ran just to get to me faster."
"I wanted to."
"Nice to know."
He pulled me by the list and we got to his car and started to drive.
"Where are we going to?"
"To my house. Since Sunday I am going to be at yours, why not go to mine as well. Besides my parents aren't going to be back until next week's Wednesday, they are on their married couple's vacation."
"Your house seems like a good idea to go to."
I knew where the place was but never been inside and today I will be, just like he has seen my house outside but never inside. Once inside I knew the house from the outside seemed rich, the inside as well screamed richness. The house was clean but still managed to make it feel homey. We walked upstairs to his room. It definitely looked different from the rest of the house. It was still very clean and put together but it was more colorful and way more things on the walls and on the furniture. I sat down on his bed. He putted away his backpack and the gym bag away on the ground somewhere in the corner of the room. He took my backpack and set it on the ground next to his table.
"Do you have the book we both started to read yesterday?"
"I do."
"Let's read it together."
Just like at the park, I laid on top of him, my back pressed against his front and we both read the book in silence. I was the one holding the book and he would occasionally cares my arm which I really liked that feeling. After like an hour of reading we decided it was a good time to look at the kitchen to see something we could eat or have the ability to cook something from things that are available to us. Luck was on our side and we were able to make a simple cooked chicken with rice for our lunch. It tasted really good and I think we both aren't bad cooks.
"When did you learn to cook like this?"
"I sometimes have to cook for myself. Either my parents aren't home or we don't hire a cook from time to time and in general I am not that lazy to learn something simple to make. And to order something to be delivered isn't something I like to do often."
"Cool."
While eating we talked about school, some future plans and things like that. After eating we went to the living room to watch a movie. Well tv series since we both wanted to watch the same thing and we could continue watching it on Sunday at my house. It was a fantasy one but like also sci-fi. I like it so far as well as Samuel seems to be enjoying it too. We cuddled while watching it on the couch. We did have a make out sessions during a break we had between a few episodes. I like him a lot. And I am glad we made up and now are back together.
At one point we decided it was time for us to stop watching and continue it maybe today but definitely on Sunday. I went to the bathroom to do business and he walked towards the backyard. Once done I walked to the backyard and saw his back and some smoke coming out of near him. He turned around and I saw and electric cigarette in his hand. I startled him a bit by asking.
"You smoke?"
"I... umm... not often... rarely but I do."
"Ok...you do you I guess."
"You are not mad?"
"I don't think so. I just don't do it but I haven't even found out about this before so I guess if you don't do it often, I am alright with it. Just don't ask me to do it."
"I won't force you at all. Besides I do want to quit it and the more I hang out with you the more I want to quit it."
"It is hard to quit such habits but I think you might be able to do it. I can tell you don't smoke often so that isn't so awful."
"Thank you." He pulled me into a hug. I don't like that he smokes but I didn't even thought he might or even suspected that. His friends might not know, maybe Luciana knew and just left this part out for me to figure out later. But like I said not the end of the world for me. He doesn't smoke often and had said he wants to quit it. Samuel does a sport so smoking shouldn't be a thing but he might ahem started to feel less stressed out, I hope that is the reason which sounds the most reasonable.
We decided to stay outside. He had a fireplace outside which we sat down on the outside couch. The chilly weather was nice, the cloudy sky made the day seem peaceful, occasional breeze would come by. We cuddled up and he later made coffees for us and brought some snacks too. We talked. I still have no idea for my future. I don't know what I would like to be so I could study for that profession. I am not gifted and I barely can do something interesting, my grades aren't the best but hey they aren't that low. I will have to talk to my guardians about later studies since I have no clue.
It felt nice being snuggled up to Samuel, the autumn weather, the hot drinks and the snacks, I felt very happy. We stayed like that for like a good hour before heading back inside since it got colder. We turned up some music in the living room and just started to dance. Random but it was awesome. The songs were all over the place but we found ways to vibe to them all. Some were chillier, some had a lot of energy we had to offer just from hearing them. We didn't even notice how the two hours passed quickly while dancing. We were tired and went to his room to presume watching the tv series we started.
Soon the evening came. We ordered dinner from a restaurant as we were too lazy cook anything. After like ten or fifteen minutes the food arrived and we ate it in the kitchen.
"Do you want to use the bonfire this evening?"
"Are we allowed?"
"Yeah. Just be responsible and don't burn something."
"I mean seems like a good idea. I am worried about doing something on accident."
"Nah. Things should be fine. Don't worry."
"Ok." I did eye him with suspicion. No matter how much I liked the idea, I knew that fire isn't a safe thing. But I agreed nonetheless. We took blankets, hot drinks and snacks with us to the place. He lit up the bonfire and we sat down. The night sky had some visible stars and I liked that. Samuel talked about his future. I felt like I didn't belong in the moment since I have no idea of my own. But I listened either way. I liked how happy he looked while talking about it. One point I think I zoned out and he noticed so stopped talking.
"You ok?"
"I think so."
"What's on your mind then?"
"I have no clue of my future."
"Oh. Well you still have time to think about it."
"I don't. And that future is coming soon and I never really thought about it much."
"You can think of that over time. It might come naturally to you."
"I do hope so then."
"You will be alright."
He changed the subject quickly and we chatted about that. Honestly I am so happy I have found him. The more the evening came the more I knew I should go back home. But he insisted I slept in his house, he had a guest room and it was ready for use. I wasn't very prepared but he got me his washed t-shirt for me to sleep in and the toiletries were in the bathroom as if I were in a hotel. So since I was still at his place we decided to continue reading the book until it was time to go to sleep.
The time for sleeping arrived. We parted ways, well I walked to the guest room I was going to stay for the night. Went to the bathroom and did the evening routine and got to sleeping. The morning was amazing. after I woke up and got dressed, walked out of the room and walked to the kitchen, I found Samuel already awake and making breakfast.
"What are you making?"
"I...umm... hey, good morning."
"Morning to you too." I giggled.
"I am making eggs and bacon if you would like that."
"I would love that."
"Good. Coffee or tea?"
"Tea."
We ate the breakfast and I will say it was delicious, how is he so good at cooking? I don't think I could make this same things taste as good as his. I didn't stay long in his house as I needed to be back at mine, clean just a bit and wait for my two friends to show up. He wanted to drive me home but I insisted on walking, besides it isn't that far away. So walking it was. Once home I cleaned up, basically just went with the vacuum machine all other the house and I was ready to wait for my friends. I texted them that they can come now, I think Leonor should arrive a bit later than Bernadette since she lives furthest away from me.
While waiting I looked through the kitchen to see if there was anything edible or something simple that we later could make if we wanted to.
